Abstract Novel furan‐embedded heteroarenes were synthesized by a one‐pot condensation reaction between pyrene‐4, 5‐diketone/phenanthrenequinone and substituted phenol/naphthol catalyzed by triflic acid. The resulting molecules emit blue light in organic solvents. The self‐assembly behaviors of 11‐fluoropyreno[4, 5‐b]benzofuran and naphtho[1, 2‐b]pyreno[4, 5‐d]furan were investigated by a re‐precipitation method, which indicated that the shape and size could be tuned by the ratio of THF to a solution of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide in water.
